All of the relays on the outside of the main box are supposed to be anti-theft relays.

Be careful removing them because according to the drawings they tap into the R/Y and R/B wires for the high beams. You should be able to cut them out but do not sever the other connections.

My car didn't come with anti-theft from the factory but there is only one headlamp relay for the low beams and high beams, etc and it is located in the box at the top of the middle row and is labeled on the cover.

That's just a generic spade connector, it's not Toyota or Nissan specific or anything. Call up Tweakd and ask those guys what it's for, they've always been friendly and helpful whenever I've dealt with them. It's probably for a cooling fan because of where it's location but you should just call them up and ask.

I would think was the temp sensor, as most the places you order a harness from ask if you want metal spade or plastic connector

Yep, they were for the temp sender and oil sender/sensor. Thanks guys.

Try and get some pics. If it's possible also what mounts are you using (rubber)

I'm using stock mounts. I had to fight to get the motor on the passenger side. I'll put up some pics when I get home. from the pics I have its hard to tell. the only way I could tell was the shifted was off center by about 2 inches

Be sure to use the correct mount holes. I had trouble with this. I had to remove the intake manifold support bracket to get to the proper mount holes on the intake side.

I'm pretty sure they are in the right ones. but i could be wrong i looked at alot of pic on here to make sure i had them right. I had to remove that bracket too for the rear holes of my mont to go there

Anyone know anyone that can get me a deal on some powersteering lines for a 1j?

You only need the high pressure line - driftmotion.com sells it, chasebays, isis, etc.. I used the chase bays line

big mike, what throttle cable is that?

S13 DOHC Cable. It is really long but you can't see the other 20 feet of it I have tucked in the bay lol

[Mister.E]

LMAO, thanks man. im looking for something a little shorter that works with the stock 1JZ bracket.

[ATLspeed]

I def got excited when I saw the throttle cable as well lol.

What did you use to mount your fpr like that on the intake manifold. Only brackets I seen are freed engineering for like $60. I thought of just getting a nice piece of sheet metal to bolt together

Whoa... That looks bad

Do yourself a favor and pick up some get nuts lab brackets, freed, or xcessive and ditch those

[CooleyXXXIII]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, tired of messing with these

Hey Cooley you got to move the passenger bracket back one more set of holes. Make sure the longer bracket is on the passenger side too. Mine doesn't sit off as bad as yours.

Hey guys, I've been keeping tabs on this thread for a while, but I'm not sure if this has been brought up before.

Have any of you switched from an SR or KA to a 1J or 2J with the same suspension setup and can make some comments on how the handling changes?

Sorry if it was covered and I missed it.

Make sure you get the correct model (s13 or s14)

[93egallmotor]

ja little update here. just ordered a pc680 dry cell battery for my swap, since i had to move the battery from the bay anyway. im tucking it under the dash and running remote terminals out to the bay for emergencys. should keep the starter cable nice and short. im then moving on to the fuel lines, anyone got a pic of how they connected to the OEM fuel dampner? im thinking rubber lines with a z32 filter and using worm drive clamps, but im confused as to how everyone is mating to the dampner. thanks!

[di-devol]

I removed the dampner from my 1j if that helps any.

Little update, I finally got the engine and trans installed with the Xcessive mounts. Everything lined up so well it was stupid. Such a breeze with all new hardware.

I didn't have the issue with the trans mount being too big because I grabbed an Xcessive poly mount as well.

And a protip: If you use a jzx100 tripod shifter, it will sit REALLY far back(but I dig it, makes it nicely within reach having the seat and everything moved back.

[CooleyXXXIII]

Yeah I did that too

I went from sr to 2j and surprisingly i didn't feel a difference. I'm running bc coils with 8k springs too. And this is just my drift car

I am a little worried about it. I dunno how much 200+- lbs in the front will affect the handling. I was thinking of upping the spring rate to at least 9-7.

I jumped from an SR to 1j... definitely a big difference. I am sponsored by Fortune Auto so I spoke to Terry over at FA quiet a bit about it, and ended up bumping from 9k front springs to 11k fronts. Ill know how much of a difference they make next weekend.
